Hi really enjoyed your story of your family ties. Aren't they fabulous when you start connecting. In checking for some of my family, after having spent about 15 years doing my husband's line I found my forebears and his had lived right next door to eah other in s very small town just south of where we now live - His folks came from Ireland and thru VA, PA and mine came from England, NY, PA, IN and all eventually into IL - Even in those days - with transportation what it was - we did get around and it was a small world.thanks for sharing your story - Harriet in IL
